Edgy has version 1.3.1 of m17n-* packages available:

$ dpkg -l '*m17n*'
||/ Name                    Version
+++-=======================-=======================-
ii  libm17n-0               1.3.1-1
ii  m17n-db                 1.3.1-1build1
un  m17n-docs               <none>
un  m17n-env                <none>
ii  scim-m17n               0.1.3-2

The libm17n-0 package listed above most likely corresponds to the
m17n-lib package you are requesting.

I made m17n 1.3.3 and scim 0.2.0 packages here:
